That is bad. Surely the planned work should be postponed because of
the Pic line problems. Before he retired, my father worked for BR Civil
Engineers department. It was not unknown for planned engineering
possessions to be postponed or cancelled because of problems elsewhere
on the network.

Ah, but BR didn't have the sort of performance targets Network Rail have.
Common sense has gone out of the window.

Well, the engineering works at Marylebone have been cancelled in the
light of the Gerrards Cross incident...

Aren't there operational considerations over getting materials to site
there?

Good news. I'm still taking my bike though.

Any news on streets being re-opened? The police guarding Bernard Street
spoke of two more weeks closure. What about Tavistock Place?

Where can one get definitive information on the road closures? Not from
TfL or Camden Council when I tried last week.

Victoria Line trains are now stopping at Kings X again - yeah!! Was an

A word a warning: the Thameslink entrance/exit with with Victoria line
was closed at about 9:30 this (Monday) morning - most annoying to have
to treck all the way round via King's Cross proper.

Problems though currently southbound due to a defective train at
Finsbury Park

No sign of this as I walked into the main line station from Euston
Road. Not that I was looking very carefully, admittedly.

So how do people buy tickets?

The LUL ticket macines at ground level were open this morning (18/7 @
09:30). Shutters had been down previously despite a Met line
service...

Yes, I gathered that on Saturday. I assumed that while only the Met was
open they were using their own ticket office.
